WARNING
.After adjustment, release the ad-
justment button and try to move the
shoulder belt anchor up and down
to make sure it is securely fixed in
position.
. The shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the
entire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
SSS1076
Seat belt hooksGUID-7D30C133-7430-471B-9D7B-10BF001437EEWhen the 2nd or 3rd row seat belts are not in
use and when folding down the 2nd or 3rd row
seats, hook the 2nd and 3rd outer seat belts on
the seat belt hooks.
SEAT BELT EXTENDERSGUID-15D1A71E-FD3F-4ACD-B546-C496A242B8B1If, because of body size or driving position, it is
not possible to properly fit the lap-shoulder belt
and fasten it, an extender that is compatible with
the installed seat belts is available that can be
purchased. The extender adds approximately 8
in (200 mm) of length and may be used for either
the driver or front passenger seating position.
See a NISSAN dealer for assistance with purchasing an extender if an extender is
required.
WARNING
.
Only NISSAN seat belt extenders,
made by the same company which
made the original equipment seat
belts, should be used with the
NISSAN seat belts.
. Adults and children who can use the
standard seat belt should not use an
extender. Such unnecessary use
could result in serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
. Never use seat belt extenders to
install child restraints. If the child
restraint is not secured properly, the
child could be seriously injured in a
collision or a sudden stop.
SEAT BELT MAINTENANCEGUID-2CF601B2-9F89-42D3-8CB2-6AE797300E6C.To clean the seat belt webbing, apply a
mild soap solution or any solution recom-
mended for cleaning upholstery or carpets.
Then, wipe with a cloth and allow the seat
belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow the
seat belts to retract until they are completely
dry.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING
LIGHT
GUID-63CE3EBF-C153-41F1-8ADB-13B5BEF67FA8The supplemental air bag warning light, display-
ing
in the instrument panel, monitors the
circuits for the air bag systems, pretensioners
and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the supplemental air bag warning light illumi-
nates for about 7 seconds and then turns off.
This means the SRS air bag systems are
operational.
If any of the following conditions occur, the front
air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag and/or
pretensioner systems need servicing: .
The supplemental air bag warning light
remains on approximately 7 seconds after
the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.
. The supplemental air bag warning light
flashes intermittently.
. The supplemental air bag warning light does
not come on at all.
Under these conditions, the front air bag, side air
bags, and curtain air bags or pretensioner
systems may not operate properly. They must
be checked and repaired. Take your vehicle to
the nearest NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
If the supplemental air bag warning
light is on, it could mean that the front
air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag
and/or pretensioner systems will not
operate in an accident. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your
vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as
soon as possible.
REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PRO-
CEDURE
GUID-F52DD8FA-AF84-402B-A3CD-7BF3DE1C4982The front air bags, side air bags and curtain air
bags and pretensioners are designed to activate
on a one-time-only basis. As a reminder, unless
it is damaged, the supplemental air bag warning
light will remain illuminated after inflation has
occurred. Repair and replacement of these
systems should be done only by a NISSAN
dealer.
When maintenance work is required on the
vehicle, the front air bags, side air bags and
curtain air bags, pretensioners and related parts
should be pointed out to the person conducting
the maintenance. The ignition switch should
always be in the LOCK position when working
under the hood or inside the vehicle.
WARNING
. Once a front air bag, side air bag or
curtain air bag has inflated, the air
bag module will not function again
and must be replaced. Additionally,
the activated pretensioner must
also be replaced. The air bag mod-
ule and pretensioner should be
replaced by a NISSAN dealer. The

Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)GUID-1C68E634-2F16-4A6B-85E1-536C36C54FC0If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (See “Readiness for inspec-
tion/maintenance (I/M) test” (P.9-27).)
Operation:
GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407The malfunction indicator light will come on in
one of two ways:
. Malfunction indicator light on steady — An
emission control system has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap if the LOOSE FUEL
CAP warning appears on the dot matrix
liquid crystal display. If the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or install the cap
and continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few driving trips.
If the
light does not turn off after a few
driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by a
NISSAN dealer. You do not need to have
your vehicle towed to the dealer.
. Malfunction indicator light blinking — An
engine misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system.
To reduce or avoid emission control system
damage:
a) Do not drive at speeds above 45 MPH (72
km/h) .
b) Avoid hard acceleration or deceleration.
c) Avoid steep uphill grades.
d) If possible, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled or towed.
The malfunction indicator light may stop
blinking and remain on.
Have the vehicle inspected by a NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
and repaired as necessary could lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel econ-
omy, and possible damage to the emis-
sion control system.
Overdrive off indicator lightGUID-B248403A-7160-4641-9641-C1D42F7AEF5DThe overdrive off indicator light illuminates when
the overdrive off mode is selected.
For additional information, see “Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT)” (P.5-13) of this
manual.
Security indicator lightGUID-ECFD3652-2277-449D-95FC-FDE76A31BDDEThe light blinks when the ignition switch is in the
ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This function
indicates the security system equipped on the
vehicle is operational.
If the security system is malfunctioning, this light
will remain on while the ignition switch is in the
ON position. For additional information, see
“Security systems” (P.2-27) .
Turn signal/hazard indicator lightsGUID-DEC39268-26DF-4838-A9EA-6A903EF57EBBThe light flashes when the turn signal switch

1. Engine oil replacement indicatorGUID-B49EC615-22D1-4111-845C-214CE38146A9This indicator appears when the customer set
time comes for changing the engine oil. You can
set or reset the distance for changing the engine
oil. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-22) .)
2. Oil filter replacement indicatorGUID-8EC15863-1C70-4332-BAFA-4C2E8EE6FBFCThis indicator appears when the customer set
time comes for replacing the oil filter. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing the oil
filter. (See “Trip computer” (P.2-22).)
3. Tire replacement indicatorGUID-83F3C488-F446-4361-92F6-CBED0996F98CThis indicator appears when the customer set
distance comes for replacing tires. You can set
or reset the distance for replacing tires. (See
“Trip computer” (P.2-22) .)
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. See
“Changing wheels and tires” (P.8-35) .
Many factors including tire inflation,
alignment, driving habits and road con-
ditions affect tire wear and when tires
should be replaced. Setting the tirereplacement indicator for a certain
driving distance does not mean your
tires will last that long. Use the tire
replacement indicator as a guide only
and always perform regular tire checks.
Failure to perform regular tire checks,
including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle
damage could occur and may lead to a
collision, which could result in serious
personal injury or death.
4. “OTHER” indicatorGUID-3F118BD8-4E3B-4C42-83AA-190A2A80C162This indicator appears when the set time comes
